This is an adorable little brooch.

Made in the 1940's, these popular Make Do and Mend brooches were made using plastic thonging, or in some cases wire covered with plastic, which was wound or crocheted onto a small metal ring and then trimmed with a central decoration, all fastened onto a collar bar. 

This piece features a large metal ring covered in green and cream thonging worked in stripes with a thicker band at the bottom. The middle bar has two rather crudely made flowers in bright red.

A really pretty example which would look great on any lapel.

 

Measurements

Excluding the pin, and measuring the colourful design;

Diameter 1 3/4"

 

Condition

Good, with minor wear which is commensurate with age. Please look at the photographs properly to ensure that you are happy with the condition of the brooch. There is slight tarnish to the pin. One of the flower petals has come loose on one side. Still presents well and looks great on a lapel.

 

Postage

All our jewellery is boxed and is only sent via a tracked and insured method within the UK. Although this option isn't the cheapest way of posting your items, it is the safest way. We will not use cheaper, untrackable option.
